Tiled behind the stove early, so I could move it back and tile the rest. First, had to strip all the asphalt (black tar) adhesive which held the old linoleum (?) down. Same mess as in the laundry room earlier...

Stripped, clean and ready to tile. Also relocated the outlet and the water connection because I wanted to swap the positions of the fridge and the cabinet next to it. The fridge door has never been able to open wide enough because of being jammed in the

New duct going into the computer room (behind this wall). Maybe it will help to cool it a little more; it never has gotten enough ventilation.

Nice used dishwasher from craigslist. Saved lots of money over buying such a nice one new.
